As an animator, the late Yasuo Otsuka has been a driving force in Japanese commercial animation since its inception, and has been energetically guiding younger generations. Condensed valuable "posthumous manuscripts", from the animation director's representative works such as "Lupin the Third", illustrations of military vehicles, serials in magazines, manuscripts of out-of-print books to unpublished proposals. Mr. Seiji Kano, who has been friends for many years, is in charge of editing and composition. From the attractive pictures and the witty way of speaking, the author's attitude toward life and work, which he called himself "a hobbyist," emerges. A must-have book for all fans.
